WATCH: Dem senator says Platner's struggles speak to ‘regular people’ amid backlash over resurfaced posts

Sen. Chris Murphy supports Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner despite resurfaced Reddit posts containing offensive remarks about a soldier and crude sexual content. A recent poll shows Platner leading Republican Sen. Susan Collins, with 51% support among likely voters. Former Maine Gov. Janet Mills dropped out of the Democratic primary, signaling Platner as the presumptive candidate.
